è The Gift of a rearranged agenda

• You are chosen!

• You are enabled, equipped with Grace. (Which is more than enough)

è The thief called FEAR

• Fear’s basic nature: an outcome projection; a responsibility taken to change something you can’t change.

• Fear attacks our soul (mind and emotions, and will) to stop our spirit from functioning properly. (Our spirit is indwelled by the Holy Spirit)

• Fear resists, opposes the heart of God. (1 John 4:18; Romans 5:5)

è So, what do I do when fear attacks?

• “Get your Bearings”. ASK, “Is it true?” (based on His word)

• Make your Stand: “I will trust in YOU, Lord” (Psalm 56:3; Psalm 34:4-6)

• Walk Forward: Be aggressive in your approach. Don’t retreat. Seek reinforcement!

“Sometimes you don’t realize you’re actually drowning when you’re trying to be everyone else’s anchor”!
